OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. 



" Numerously illustrated, clearly written, with a good deal of matter packed with 

 much dexterity into a small space." — Seiejice Gossip. 



" The arrangement is good ; the illustrations are very numerous, there being three 

 or four on almost every page ; and the writer has done much to simplify the subject." — 

 School Guardiaji. 



" Still another primer of botany! Well, we cannot have too many, provided all are 

 as good as this one."— The Inqjdrer. 



" A better handbook for beginners in the delightful science of botany we could not 

 imagine, and, in fact, do not know. It is not only simply and clearly written, but 

 every hard or doubtful word is explained, whilst some 120 illustrations serve to render 

 the text more easy of apprehension." — Literary World. 



*' It is clearly written and illustrated by numerous woodcuts, which serve to explain 

 the text and pave the way for the study of the real flowers, which should always be 

 carried on pari passu with such a book as this. We can, indeed, conceive of no better 

 introduction to that delightful sX.\x^y." —Cotirt Circular. 



"Will prove a useful adjunct to the lessons of the teacher in schools where botany is 

 taken as a specific subject." —Schoolmaster. 



" Many who are a long way past their school days will find this primer the very thing 

 they want." — North British Daily Mail. 



Ferns and Ferneries. By the Author of " Anatomy of an 



Earthworm," &c. &c. Crown 8vo, 6d. 



OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. 



" This is a useful little brochure of about fifty pages, on the cultivation of a fernery. 

 The first twenty-two pages are devoted to the description of a selection from our British 

 ferns adapted for culture, with details of their fructification and germination. A selec- 

 tion of wild flowers suitable for growth conjointly with ferns is a good idea. Then 

 follow directions for securing suitable soils, &c., while the pamphlet ends with a synopsis 

 of the chief group of British ferns." — Academy. 



" We cordially recommend it as the best little brochure on ferns we have yet seen 

 Its merits far exceed those of much larger and more pretentious works." — Science Gossip. 



"In brief compass, and without wasting words, it tells all that is necessary to be known 

 for the general cultivation of these lovely plants." — Literary World. 



" To the cultivator of this pleasing study this little book will be found of great utility. 

 We heartily commend the work to those in search of a new pleasure." — Perthshire 

 Advertiser and Citizen. 



' ' Full of charming illustrations, exact scientific information and practical guidance. 

 —Glasgow Mail.
